A lesson I’m learning from this 5G/Corona rumour - do not get tired of debunking stupid rumours in your WhatsApp groups. No matter how silly a rumour sounds, treat it with respect. In the sense that you should assume it is something that can go viral and cause harm

It started a couple of months ago and most people just ignored it. And then when some idiot celebrities joined in, we just laughed at them. But the kind of people who have asked me for my ‘thoughts’ on it in the last couple of days have terrified me

To misapply Louis Brandeis to these Corona times - in a democracy, the most important office is that of Whatsapp fact checker.
